Some years ago, a favorite preacher and friend of mine had a series of workshops/seminars entitled “Feeling Good about Yourself” and “Feeling Good about Being a Christian,” or titles similar to these.  The premise of those seminars was, I thought at the time, absolutely wonderful, eye-opening, and inspiring.  The thoughts stuck with me for a long [...]

Following up on an idea planted in my mind some 10 days ago by a fellow blogger, I have made myself a “God Can.”  Except my can is a vase.  I made a label and taped it to the front.  It says GOD CAN.  On the back, following the example of Brady’s can, I put [...]

……………..a baby boy was born in Clay County, Arkansas.  I imagine he had a head full of black hair and a lusty yell!  He was named Johnie Webster and would grow up to be a small (in more ways than one!) farmer and a mechanic.  (I am between 5′4″ and 5′5″, and as an adult, [...]

Our Wednesday night services began with a shared meal.  Leftover chicken, side dishes, and bookoos of desserts from a meal provided for a family yesterday following a funeral.  There’s nothing that beats eating with someone to encourage the “getting to know you” thing, and there were several someones in attendance.  It was a lot of [...]

One of the things I dabble in trying to be of service in our congregation is what we call a “phone tree.”  Mostly, this is utilized to inform the membership when a death has occurred and the need for food, etc.

Where has this year gone?
I know others may talk about our nation’s birthday coming up a little later on, but it’s on my mind tonight, so…………
Our slightly below normal temperatures the last week or so may be responsible for me missing the fact that next Friday is July 4th!  It has slipped up on me, [...]

Well, here it is Sunday night again!  Time to start my week’s blogging.  I think I’ll just share my weekend and some random thoughts, since nothing specific is surfacing to talk about.
We began Friday evening by doing our daily walk at a local mall.  Most of the time, we walk at our church building.  However, [...]

Enough said.  I’ll just share with you tonight that it’s been a nice day and some of:
TODAY’S SMILES & HAPPIES:

We spent a good portion of today with family.
Mae’s medical procedure to have her esophagus stretched went very well.
Mae shared with me how much she weighs!  I’m sworn to secrecy, but you gotta luv ‘er and [...]

…………or you know that saying about “what a difference a day makes?”  Well, I’ve been doing some ruminating today about what a difference the last 2-1/2 years have made in the overall landscape of my life.
I’d like to share some of these pluses and minuses with you.  I have to acknowledge feeling a bit overwhelmed………………….
Two [...]

This is what a nurse at the nursing home in Piggott just told me about my brother, Denzil.
I am not able to see him real often or on any kind of a regular basis, but I try to call at least once a week and talk to his nurses.  One, in particular, is very informative [...]
